Sounders defender Chad Marshall’s red card for a dangerous foul late in Saturday’s win over Sporting Kansas City has been overturned after the Sounders appealed the decision.
The red card had carried an automatic suspension for Marshall for the Sounders’ next game, Sept. 15 at Vancouver. The defender now is eligible to play in the game.
The red card was overturned after it was reviewed by an independent panel consisting of one representative each from the United States Soccer Federation and the Canadian Soccer Association and one representative nominated by the Professional Referee Organization. The red card carried a fine, as well, which has also been rescinded.
